permitted to go to balls or theatres, to
drive or promcradein the plazas, or even
to sit in their own parlors with gentle
men acquaintanccs without tho vigiant
supervision of mother or duenna. In
fact it is not the custom for unmarried

The ladies of Lima are all eyes. They
have the reputation of being, as a class,
the most beautiful in tho world, and
meeting them on the way to mass in the
morning, or shopping later in the day,
one can easily sec how they obtained it;
but, knc wing them in their homes, the
opinion changes, and you conclude after
calm reflection that they arc not so
pretty as the women of New York. 1t
is the mania, which they wear in such a
coqucttish way, that gives them their
reputation for beauty, for it conceals
every feature except their bewitching
eyes aud lovely olive complexion.
No matter how ugly her mouth or her
nose is; no matter how high her cheek
bones or large her ears; no matter whether
she is as scrawny as scarecrow or as bald
as bat, "manta" will make any woman
with pretty eyes look handsome, and,
like charity, it covers multitude of sins.

On the first of December last DR.. Willard
retired from the position of superintendent
of the Mary Fletcher Hospital after a serv-
ice of six years, during which time over a
thousand patients passed under his care, a
very large proportion of whom were cured

to carry out plan which he has had in
mind for some time-to establish in this
city rest-cure for nervous invalids on the
plan of the widely-known DIR. Weir Mitch.

son Dewey building on State street noticed
that some one was moving about in Mr..
Dewey's hardware store below, but quite
naturally supposed 1t to be one of the en-
ployes who had gone in to prepare the fire
for the night, and gave the matter no
further thought. Monday morning, on enter
ing the store, Mr.. Dewey discovered that
side window was partly open and that the
fastening had been broken during the night.
Further examination revealed the fact that
some one had visited the cash-drawer and
the tobacco-case. A caddy of tobacco, a
quanty of cigart, some honey and a small
amount of money had been taken On the
same night the stores of d. w. Temple &
Co. and Ira G.. Bascom were visited by
thieves AT the first of these places about
twelve dollars in small change was taken
from the cash-drawer, but this is believed
to be the extent of Messrs. Temple & Co.'s
loss. Mr. Bascom did not fare so well, for
the cash drawer was relieved of nearly
twenty dollars in bills and coin, and the
marauders also carried off about fifty dol
lars worth of fine cigars. On Monday a
part of the stolen property--Mr. Dewey's
tobacco and some thirty dollars worth of
Mr. Bascoms cigars-wa found concealed

Cooperation in England.

The cooperative stores of England have
been, indeed, very successful, but every ono
must have had the impression that they arc
much moro easily managed than societies for
production; that is, store is a much less
complex and difficult affair than factory.
When men unite for manufacturing they
must have at their head the one man power
as the operations must often be secret and
prompt; they must be led by far Teaching
brains, by men who can judge what Kind of
things the public want and when they want
them. The head managers should be finaa-
ciers who know how to raise money and to
handle it; and they ought to possess capital,
as the factories frequently have to do without
profit for years and live ON the accumulation
or former years; and manifeotjy business
association like this cannot be managed like
town meeting, and its operations be guided at
given time by the majority of the votes of
Its stockholders. Asa consequence of this and
Other causes, cooperation in manufacturing
Is exceedingly difficult. Wherever in Eng
land it has been most successful, as in the
Rochdale mills and factories, we may be sure
that 1t has been through the business talent of
few men who have given up large salaries,
which they might have earned for the BEN
eft Of their fellow workmen. They have
contributed marked business ability to their
fellow laboraTs, and by their own sacrifices
have enabled these to succeed in this difficult
feld.-C ! Brace in The Epoch.

TEN is quite in the raw. The boys have be-

we have heard a great many sneers at boat
racing, ball playing and college sports But
my pride to-day is that my boys are stouter
than myself, and that not one of them under
stands headaches, dyspepsia and neuralgia.
They have broad, full chests, and their brains
are all the better for it. They. have lived on
fruits and cereals, and have not tasted meats
or butter or pastry all their lives Their
studies have been so mixed Up with play that
they have not known they were studying.

A Good Excuse.

George and Sam thought it great fun to
run away to the mill and watch the buzzins
saws tear their way through the dry bolts,
and although they were ready to obey gen.
orally, they would steal away from mamma
and run to the mill every chance they could
get
Boys" said papa one morning IF you
don't stay away from that mill somethng'u
get You sure But-as soon as papa went to
his work, and mamma went up stairs, they
ran after him as fast as they could
Sure enough, just as they came TO the great
shingle mill at the foot of the hill something
ran out at them. They didn't know it was
papa with the gray wolf skin robe over his
head.
"There It's, SAM Papa said 'twould conner
yelled Georgs as he turned and rau-oh, how
he did run,
I'm going to find ont what it is, " said brave
Sam, standing quite still till it was within ten
feet. But the awful object was toe much for
even sturdy sam, and he bounded up the hill
after George, shouting at the top of has voice:
Run, George, rum Let's so and take
care of mamma. She'll be scared. Women
always are. Run, George, rum"
They never visited the mill again without
permiSsion.-N ouths Companion
